I'm not sure how to do that. I use DiffZilla to merge the bot changes with the latest source. Seems to work fine.

One thing i have noticed with pet classes (at least Mages and Shaman) are that they tend to waste 2 slots on the same pet summon. I have not found a way to fix that in the database, so I'm guessing it's a bug in some code somewhere? I had thought it was just the shaman but I looked closer at the mage #bot debug spell list and saw that she had loaded an Earth, Fire, Wind, and Water pet ... and a 2nd Fire one.

Spell lists for the caster bots are next on my list of things to work on. The current spell selections are for NPC's and the bots just kinda hijacked the entires. There has been some discussion on this, so the spell lists I come up with will use thier own database entries instead of the ones created for the NPC's. I have the Cleric done and I'll move down the list from there.

Is there a way to cut off the social they are under attack or something? I am putting bots together at times that spam very fastly this social.

I've seen the repeating text issue. This is because you've told your bots to attack and they don't have line-of-site with the target. Try #bot summon and if you have line of site, then they will too. I think this is what you are asking about, no?

Any idea why the casters are always being interrupted? Sorry, I can't give any detailed info at this time, but I was just running thru innovation reeking havoc and even when they were told to guard, the casters are constantly having spells interrupted.

Yes that is it. Actually for some strange reason they just start running that script for no reason. Not even attacking anything. Enchanters seem to be the worse.

My Ranger does this. Mage, Wiz, Cleric, Necro, Druid, Shaman, Paladin, Shadowknight, Enchanter i've tried and don't. I'll look and see if there is some ranger specific bot code somewhere. Do you have other casters do this?

Might be a different script? This would only happen if somebody has aggro and theres a line-of-site issue. If you have HTT installed you could cycle through your bots and see who has aggro. Summoning them has always fixed it for me.

Hmm, I don't use a Ranger. My Casters are Chanter, Shaman, Cleric and Wizard. I'll pay attention to which it is, but I'm purty sure it was more than one....

BTW: Thanks for keeping this alive. I could never do it...
